The [[Generation V|current generation]] of the franchise constitutes a "reboot" similar to that of the third. The highly anticipated {{game|Black and White|s}} are set far away from the previously released games in a region based on {{wp|New York City}} called [[Unova]].

Announcements about any future games in this generation are yet to be made.

Another type of pokemon games were developed during this time, known as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. It features the player playing as a pokemon in a different world. The anime incudes the special episode 420, Team Go-Getters Get Out Of The Gate!, etc. Only one Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game was made for Game Boy Advance-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team.

Stormy Adventure Squad!, and Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!) on 4 August, 2009.
